So its called Black Ops II, but probably has nothing to do with Black Ops (one) since its set in the future??



Also.. sorry COD fans but those screens be ugly :/

[podsaurus]

That is kinda cool actually. I was expecting a Nam setting again. I'll have to seen how this all pans out. You know Ghost Recon Future Soldier comes to mind seeing those screens.

[Kuro]

I was thinking it was gonna be set in the desert storm era 90's but oh well this doesn't sound too bad

[ps3freak18]

I'm sure Resnov will be involved somehow. I really like this idea. I'm just surprised Treyarch was the one to take the step towards the future warfare. I figured Activision would save that for the precious IW. I trust Treyarch with this. I can't wait. My body is ready.

Guess they will keep the dogs

Awesome, can't wait. I was never a fan of Black Ops, but after going back to it after MW3 I really enjoyed it!

Hopefully, the campaign doesn't suck like Black Ops'. This looks promising but I'll await to see more. +1 for the futuristic attack dogs.

You kidding me? The Black Ops had the best campaign out of all the COD games, with the mind wiping and brainwashing.

5 mins till new b/ops2 trailer ppl callofduty.com

I think I'm done with CoD. Or at least until the next gen. It's too samey for me now, and in my honest opinion it has never reached the heights set by CoD4.

It was underwhelming. The Modern Warfare games still have the best campaigns.

[DreDayDetox]

I always said I would buy COD if it was set in the future. Sold.

I've also gotten sick of the franchise, but I've been waiting for a futuristic setting, so I have slight interest now.

Black Ops has the best story of any COD game IMO. Whether or not the campaign was fun is another matter though.

So we finally know what Treyarch has decided to do with their next installment to the series. Glad they're trying something new; I'll be interested to see how their idea of the near future will compare with Infinity Ward's vision. The screens aren't all that good, but meh, it's early yet -- I'm sure Black Op's graphics will be up to par upon release.

I always liked World At War and Black Ops the best, but I'm not a big COD fan.

COD in the future does raise my interest in it a lot.

I've always liked the MW campaigns but they just felt too much like a blockbuster movie to me. They are good but just never captivated me like the BOs story did. My opinion.

I agree, if I get BOII at all it will be for the campaign.That being said, these screens, and the robotic attack dog is cool... but it still looks horrible. I'm not all for the graphics by any means but I really want to see a trailer and some screens for the PS360 versions because these look like they are for the Wii. :/

[Fon]

To each their own. I still dislike the campaign for how boring it was.

[Dave-The-Rave]

Consider me HYPED !!

[DarkVincent07]

Okay, so that trailer was actually pretty good.

Props for doing something different.

[Fon]

Graphically it still looks terrible. But it's looking decent. I also noticed an Uncharted 3 moment in there with the horseback and canyons Lol.

Reznov best be, absolutely awesome character across WaW and BOps. Went through the campaigns on both afew times just for his story telling in the game. His character really added a chilling, gritty feeling to the games.

Definitely keeping my eyes peeled on this and kudos to treyarch for trying something different. Looking forward to seeing more.

[Dave-The-Rave]

The graphics are find IMO..it means they can keep it at a constant 60 FPS which is what a game like this needs.

[Kuro]

Wow wasn't expecting woods set in in 2025 huh? Bout 11 years after MW looks pretty decent
